Patients' and providers' perceptions of asthma and asthma care: a qualitative study.
The primary goal of this qualitative study was to further explore patient and provider perceptions of asthma and asthma care as part of a larger Asthma Comparative Effectiveness Study. Three overarching themes, with a variety of subthemes, emerged as the main findings of this study. The three main themes were Cost/Economic Barriers/Process, Self-Governance/Adherence and Education.

Obesity and asthma: pathophysiology and implications for diagnosis and management in primary care.
This review summarizes existing data that support the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the association between obesity and asthma, as well as the current and future state of treatment for the obese patient with asthma. It suggests that evidence of chronic inflammatory response linking obesity and asthma indicates a need to address obesity during asthma management, possibly by using patient-centered approaches such as shared decisionmaking.

Asthma: NHLBI workshop on the primary prevention of chronic lung diseases.
This article reports on the state of primary prevention research in asthma, with emphasis on specific recommendations for research priorities and interventions that could be undertaken now. The emphasis of this work was on prevention of disease onset, and because the majority of asthma begins during preschool years, this document focuses on childhood asthma.
